image by wili It seems more and more that people today just do not get why our tax system is so messed up. All we hear is how unfair it is that the rich don’t pay more taxes. Somehow we have indoctrinated enough people into thinking that the rich should pay 70% of their income [...] Related posts:Get Your Finances Organized Stop Whining, It’s Your Fault Not Obama’s Who Knew A Dollar Could Mean So Much?
